Mnet to Stream MAMA Live from Hong Kong

If you didn’t win the “Share Your Love of Kpop” contest presented my Mnet or can’t be in attendance personally at the Mnet Asian Music Awards this year, don’t worry because Mnet plans to stream all of the festivities live straight from their recently launched MCube and Facebook page, that way you don’t miss out on a second of this fantastic spectacle. Make sure to stay tuned this Nov 30th to the 2012 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA).

The 2012 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) will feature acts from around the world with some of the biggest artists in K-pop – PSY, Super Junior, Big Bang and SISTAR – scheduled to blow the roof off the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre with eye popping performances. In addition to the all the hottest stars from Korea, a slew of international talent from the United States, Japan, China, Singapore, and many more are expected including Hong Kong’s own Jackie Chan, who will be presenting.
